Best WordPress Free And paid Plugins

The main advantage of WordPress over Blogger is the strength to install plugins, which will make your work easier to customize or automate in the best suitable manner for your site.

So below we have listed some plugins that are the mandatory plugins, which every blogger should have, which are mainly focused on increasing performance, security, and SEO, etc.

• Security Plugin: Jetpack And Akismet Anti Spam

Jetpack is a wordpress.com security plugin and installed on your blog by default, it will be installed into your WordPress website.

you just need to activate Jetpack features, simply register your free account in wordpress.com and link your account with wordpress.org.

This plugin assures high security and also watches your site in case it is down. However, Akismet Anti-spam is the most recommended plugin for every new blogger.

Akismet plugin has a pretty huge database to monitor if there is any spam commenting on your website which normally all bots do on your website.

Akismet Anti-spam blocks those auto bots and enhances security and reduces Spamming on your website.

• SEO Plugin : Yoast SEO And RankMath

While you write any blog post the first thing is to write a post in such style that it optimizes around the search engine requirements.

For this list, you can use Yoast SEO, which is currently the most famous plugin and nearly every single blogger is using Yoast SEO Plugin to enhance your blog SEO.

Yoast SEO has some features like the generation of sitemap and ping to search engine and provides you an on-page SEO score and provides you multiple suggestions.

Its free plan will provide you to optimize for only a single keyword.

However, the Yoast SEO pro plan will permit you to optimize for more than 5 keywords and many more advanced features.

RankMath is another one of the popular plugins launched recently which include everything that Yoast is offering in Free and Pro plans, so you can try the same but I recommend your first priority should be Yoast SEO.

• Image Optimizer: ShotPixel Image Optimizer Or Smush

The application of a large number of media on your blog or website makes your website slow and increases the loading time of your images on your blog and your website page loading speed will increase hence you can utilize the best image optimizer plugin.

I mainly prefer two choices for image optimization one is ShortPixel which will provide you free 100 image credits every month and the most powerful image optimizer currently available and the second-best choice is Smush which I used to use earlier but now I am moved to ShortPixel which I also suggest you use.

• Caching or Performance plugin: W3 Total Cache/WP Rocket

Website loading speed is extremely important to increase traffic on your website and if you are purchasing shared hosting then it must be suggested to use any caching plugin which builds caches in the user browsers.

This means for some duration of time if the same user visits your website again and again then this time data will be loaded from his cache history and will be faster and has no load on your server.

• Broken Link Checker And Redirection

If you concentrate on SEO then the first thing is to validate that your website should not have any broken links.

This means if you have connected your page 1 with another page 2 with Anchor text but that B post is no more live.

Then, if somebody clicks to page 1 anchor text there will be a 404 error.

This will increase the bounce rate of your website and have a poor impact on SEO, hence you have some plugins in place to recognize and fix them as soon as possible.
